did your parents ever consider giving you a different name when you were born? If so, what name was it?

I can't remember.

Ryan - if I was a boy

since Im a chic - it was either Rebecca or Riley...


what's with the "R"s...

Rebecca sounds more beautiful-ish.

MG: I like the name Riley

my name is Riley...

that's a cool name.

Damian

what about Damian? - that was going to be your name instead of Ryan..

I was gonna be called Donna Louise if I was dark... but I was born white haired and green eyed A freak of nature in comparison to my dark skinned, dark haired family. But now I'm brunette

oh..

sorry, I didn't know your name...I assumed it was Rebecca..

the only other name i was going to be given was if i was a boy which wud of been alex

i was giving ashley for a girl

yeah, it was like Deronda Dawn..i cant spell it...

i was always gonna be named after my grandad so thats why im called michael i love my name

The doctor said that me and my twin sister was going to be boys so my name was going to be jack and my twin sister's name max!But then we turn out to be girls so they just shorten our name to sound more girlish.
Jackie and Maxi!jm

My parents were really considerating naming me Gaylord, but they didn't think my last name rymed with Gaylord, so they decided to change my lastname to Focker, so after I born the doctor asked my parents so what'd the young fellow's name? they proudly answered "Gaylord Focker" the doctor fainted and died, my mother saw it as if it were a bad sign so they changed it to Martin

blowup Idiot.

JM, if they shortened 'Jack' and 'Max' then they wouldn't have changed them to 'Jackie' and 'Maxi'. Because that's lengthening.

RANDI

FOR THE HUNDRETH TIME RANDI

Heh!!! I'm a freak of nature as well compared to the rest of my family...red hair and dark brown eyes where the rest of my family has blond/brown hair and light colored (green or blue) eyes...

My dad wanted to name me Samantha, but my mom wanted to name me Alana. Mom won

and what has that to do with my post?

edited on the request of Blue Dragon

kyle or ben

I was gonna be called stone in greek! omg! I am so happy they changed their minds! I am Helen now... lol

I was either going to be Ruth or Graham, but my parents changed their minds at the last minute

Charlie cry

If I were a girl, I'd have been called Niamh (pronounced Neeve)

But as I turned out to be a boy, they were between two minds to call me Liam or Sean. They picked out of a hat, and i became Sean!

That was weird story.

If I was born a boy, my mum said I was gunna be named Michael

I like that name

i hate my name i rather have be something gay like hmmm stewie than the name i have,

I'm sure your name isn't that bad...

I like my name, it's different

dude its gary come on now that a friggin gay f in name i am taunted with stupid childish gary the snail jokes and i am 14 and lil imature kids that are the same age say that shi*

...14 year olds ARE immature, which is why they make immature jokes. Don't worry about it, they'll grow out of it.

Ironman>>hey, now that aint that bad....there are worse names out there, trust me...and when people give you sh!t bout it, just tell em to shut the....well...you know the rest..i mean, young kids..don't worry bout their opinions,...I mean, this one kid once bagged me bout my makeup.....but I brushed it off cuz, well...hes a kid......and you shouldnt worry what others say either..

woh i got a lil carried away....lol..

People picked on me about so much that my name was the least of my worries...

People's inability to pronounce my name pisses me off, though. Seriously. Alana. 5 letters, 3 the same. How is it so damn hard to pronounce?

Silver>>....
lol.....how can someone pronounce that name wrong? it's damn easy to say.....

I have no idea...really pisses me off because my name is so simple yet most people mispronounce it unless I tell them how to say it.

Silver>>If I was in that situation....it would piss me off too...

umm so let me get this right (ahlhanah) thats how you purnounce it right

Yep. Ah-lah-nah.

ah its not that hard
